Is your relationship dead?

You might be in a dead relationship and not even notice it.

Knowing when your relationship is dead and when it is time to get out is in your best interest.

Here are a few tips to make sure you are still in an alive love affair.

There is no trust

The best relationships have at their core – TRUST!

If you can’t trust the one you love, you are in deep trouble. When you need to second guess their word, well you and your partner could be in a very cold space. Be careful of the lies—even little lies.

You are happier away from them

When you feel happier when your partner is not with you, this should be a big sign.

If you find yourself rejoicing when the person you love is NOT with you.  Needless to say, this is a clear warning sign you cannot ignore. 

No conversation

When you both have no interest in talking to each other.

If your partner has ample opportunities to talk to you and never takes them, that’s a sign they are not interested.  On that same note, if you talk to them and they always find a way to stop talking to you or always lets the conversation fizzle out and die, then it’s very likely a sign there is death lurking there.

Their smell or being repulses you

You are repulsed by his smell, his physical presence, and who he is as a person.  These feelings are all too common in failing relationships.

There are critical signs – there are clearly stated expositions about the truth of your relationship. In the end, you need to know when your relationship is over.

Heed the warnings!
